    Welcome to the forum, denret.
    Sounds like it is the CPU is overheat and it throttle(slowdown) to reduce heat.
    Sometime it can be "fake overheat" which the CPU thinks itself being overheat and start throttle immediately. The culprit can be BIOS and the thermal sensors/zone.

    Physical solution:
    Clean your laptop. DUST = KILLER
    Vacuum it.
    You can try cooler though.

    If physical solution failed, then come back again. I'll show another solution.
